00:00:05,064 --> 00:00:06,730
MIN-MIN LIANG: My
name is Min-Min Liang.

2
00:00:06,730 --> 00:00:08,280
I'm from Taiwan.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:12,190
And I'm a Chinese
lecturer at MIT.

4
00:00:12,190 --> 00:00:17,340
And I graduated my
college in Taiwan.

5
00:00:17,340 --> 00:00:19,910
And I came here to
the United States

6
00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:22,200
to get my master's
degree at Harvard.

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,370
And after the master program,
I went to UPenn for the Ph.D.

8
00:00:26,370 --> 00:00:29,810
That's where I started
teaching Chinese,

9
00:00:29,810 --> 00:00:32,009
because I have a
scholarship there.

10
00:00:32,009 --> 00:00:38,080
And even though my major
is Chinese literature,

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:43,190
but I find teaching Chinese
is really fun and stimulating.

12
00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:48,230
And my total years of
teaching is 21 years.

13
00:00:48,230 --> 00:00:52,050
And I find it interesting,
because every school

14
00:00:52,050 --> 00:00:53,100
is different.

15
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:56,570
And so I constantly have
to adapt my strategy

16
00:00:56,570 --> 00:00:58,970
to a different
group of students.

17
00:00:58,970 --> 00:01:01,620
And I find that's very exciting.

18
00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:03,990
It's not things so mundane.

19
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:05,230
It's so routine.

20
00:01:05,230 --> 00:01:07,150
In that way, there's
a routine there,

21
00:01:07,150 --> 00:01:11,180
but you have to
change up according

22
00:01:11,180 --> 00:01:14,490
to the audience, the group.
